Netalyzr reports large buffers in my up/downlink. How can I fix that?
• The first option is just to be aware of the issue. If you don’t try to perform large file transfers or P2P applications while also websurfing, gaming, or using VoIP, you shouldn’t notice a problem. Buffer sizing is only a problem if you try to perform both large transfers and interactive applications simultaneously. The second is to pay for a higher bandwidth service, if it is important for you to be able to perform both large file transfers and interactive applications at the same time. The problem is due to the ratio between the buffer’s capacity and the bandwidth of the connection, so if you pay for more bandwidth, the buffering problem is reduced. Unfortunately the real solution, namely access devices which allow programmable buffer sizing or dynamically resize their buffer based on available bandwidth, is not generally available to the customer at this time.
